Dr. Cameron Sliultz contains some interesting facts relat ing to contagious diseases, the birth and the death rate, etc. The report shows that during the past month there were twenty-one eases of diphtheria; ten eases of ty phoid fever; five cases of chickenpox; one case of erysipelas; four cases of pneumonia. There were three deaths of diphtheria; one of typhoid fever and two of pneumonia. As regards diphtheria the report might indicate that the situation is a little above normal, but referring to the record for the two previous months it is seen that we have had the disease with us in about the same number of cases and that there is no increase and no reason to fear an epidemic. Anti-toxin, which is now free to all persons who can not pay for it. Dr. Shultz says, is proving a potent factor in keeping diphtheria within bounds. It is credited with reducing mortality anywhere from four per cent, to two per cent. Not only are deaths prevent ed by administering anti toxin to counteract the poisonous effects when diphtheria is present, but the develop ment of the disease itself is prevented by immunizing—protecting by inocu lation—children who have been excis ed but not vet attacked by the disease. Ten cases" of typhoid fever during the month of January is also treading dangerously near the limit, but there seems to l>e no danger of an epidemic. In December, it is true, there were only two cases, but in November there were nine cases. During January there were fourteen death certificates issued. These were more than counterbalanced <>y twenty births reported during that time, which shows that there is no race suicide it) Montour county. Library Repairs Progressing. Repairs in the Thomas Beaver Free Library are progressing very satisfact orily. The walls and woodwork in the two reading rooms and in the hallway are being prepared—the walls for the calcimining and the wood work for the "doing over" that will give it the natural lustre it possessed when new. The gas pipes and the chandeliers have been taken down and the naked and torn up apartments bear little re semblance to the cozy and nicely ap pointed quarters which have afford ed our townspeople so much pleasure during twenty years past. The plan to close the building dur ing the progress of the work—which may occupy three weeks or more—as decided upon at first may be modified somewhat. The removal of the u** pipe and the chandeliers makes it impossi ble to use the building at night, but there may be certain stages of the work when j»eople could be admitted to the building in the daytime with out interfering with the work. On the whole it does not seem unlikely that during the progress of the repairs some such arrangement may be made that will enable patrons to return books due and take out new ones. The library was closed Monday and yesterday,* large placard on the door setting forth the reason for keeping the building closed. The library will also be closed today and not unlikely during the rest of the week. Whether the library will be open oi closed on any particular day will de pend wholly upon future contingencies The whole matter is in the hands ol the trustees, able and conscientious men, who will do the best that is pos sible for the public.

The most sensational advances ever recorded in the price of lumber in the South Atlantic States was ordered at a meeting of the North Carolina Pine Association, at Norfolk, Va. The price on all grades of lumber was advanced h thousand feet for some of the bet ter grades and $5 on some other grades, principally the lower. This means h net avdance in prices of from about £ to almost 15 per cent., according tn grade. Want a State Police. The residents of West Berwick and Briarcreek have taken steps to seenre for their locality, a State police. Whether or not they will be success ful remains to be seen. The unruly element there is such that more strin gent measures for the protection of th» Uw abiding citizens are nended IMS PREPiBINS 1 FOB STRIKE Operator*, miners ami State author ities are preparing for the greatest strike in the history of the country when the United Mine Workers lay down their tools April 1. While the miners are preparing for the struggle by gathering together a $8,000,000 strike fund and the opera tors are pushing their mines to their utmost to get a stock ahead, the State authorities are rushing the equipment of the new State constabulary, which was organized in anticipation of this strike. There are four troops of this organ ization, and their arms and uniforms are now being sent out from the State arsenal at Harrislmrg. The authorities look for serious-trouble and are pre paring to meet it with snch force as may be necessary. The State constabulary recently sworn in, numbering 240 men. divid ed into four companies, every man a former member of the United States Army. United States Navy or the Na tional Gnard.will be armed and ready by April 1 to patrol the danger points where the strikers threaten property or persons. It is expected that with this I>ody, having more authority than any police force of the State, it will ! be unnecessary to call out the Nation al Guard to protect property, as has been the case in the coal strikes of the I past two decades. Pittsburg coal operators counted on I the support of John Mitchell to aid i tliein against the anthracite coal oper | a tors in forcing them into a shutdown. John Mitchell, it is believed, has been carried away by the radical element, headed by Tom L. Lewis, of Ohio,and D. Ryan, of Illiuois, and these men 1 will be the real leader* in the strike. The anthracite operators have stored millions of tons of coal in eastern Pennsylvania. This coal will l>e tak en out so that the strike can l>e carri ed on for a year if necessarv It is said that it is the intention of the op erators of the east to maintain prices equitably during the strike period so as to keep the public satisfied, as it is the intention to break up the miners' union rather than make any money out of the fight. The bituminous coal operators start ed last fall to store some coal. They were suddenly confronted with a de mand for coal and advanced prices, which consumed the surplus thus stor ed away. By the fi;st of April it is doubtful if there will be two weeks supply of the coal stored. THINK STRIKE ASSURED. During the past few davs there has been a remarkable change in the opiu iou of coal operators in the anthracite region and men who hold high offices in the United Mine Workers and who are known to be close to President Mitchell rei»arf!ing the possibility of a | strike. When the Shamokin convention ad journed the region settled down to the conviction that an amicable adjust ment would be reached. P>ut the action |of the sofr coal miners and the de claration of President Mitchell that if [a strike i* ordered it will include the anthracite men have created the belief that the prospects of peace are exceed ingly remote.

Chambers, chief engineer at the Hospital for the Insane, is con* fined to his room at that institution suffering from the effects of ver.v pain ful burns received in an explosion of gas last week. The accideut occurred while work ing in a long conduit under the main building. Mr. Chambers had opened up the gas main carried through the conduit overhead for the purpose of making a new connection. In order to work to a better advantage he erect ed a support and stood above the grouuil with his head close to the main. After he had closed the pipe in or der to assure himself that the joint was tight lie thoughtlessly struck a match for the purpose of detecting whether any gas was escaping or not. Before he could place the match to the joint, however—indeed, at the very moment he struck the match—there was an explosion, a whirlwind of flame and a loud report, in which the big building was shaken and the man was hurled from his perch and very pain fully burned about the face, neck aud hands. Mr. Chambers was at once taken in to the building and placed under the care of the Hospital physicians. He is doing very well at present, although the bad burns are still very painful and portions of his face and hands are still raw. Yesterday he was sitting up, but it may be some time before he will be able togo about as usual. Mr. Chambers admits that during the brief interval that the pipe was disconnected the gas was permitted to escape into the conduit. The possibility of any such nn explosion, as occurred, however, was so remote that it gave the chief engineer no concern. His in juries are more severe owing to the fact that he occupied an elevated posi tion with his head near the main. Had lie been standing on the ground his in juries might have been very slight. fcTRA!N TOO GREAT. Hundreds of Dduvilie Readers Fiu'i D*i!y Toil H Bnrdeo.

The entire I fire department was called into service and battled valiantly for over four | hours before training control of the blaze. Aroused from her slumber about 3 o'clock by stifling smoke that tilled her bedroom, Gertie Kulp, a diuing room girl at Knlp's Inn, a three-story hotel conducted by Clayton Kulp, a brother of Monore H. Kulp,discovered the building to be 011 (ire. Rushing out onto the lire escape iu her night clothing she gave the alarm. A young man named Kramer heard her screams, ran to the corner turued in an alarm and returned to her assistance. Before the department arrived 011 the sceue tlie entire building seemed to be a mass of seething flames. The house was filled with guests playing at the vaudeville theatre and all barely es caped with their lives, being forced to flee in their night clothes, leaving their wearing apparel and valuables behind. Bruce Miller, who occupied a room on the third floor, especially had a thrilling experience. Finding all avenues of escajxj cut oil" he tore the bed clothing into strips aud made a rope of them. Tying one end to the bed post he managed to reach the ground a few seconds before the floor of his room gave away. E. B. Kemper, who conducts a tail oring shop in the same building, with his wife and nine children also barely escaped being burned to death. Sever al of the children were overcome by the smoke and had to be carried from the building by the firemen. The fire v as supposed to have start ed from an iverheated stove in Kemp er's tailoring shop. The hotel build ing was ov ned by Attorney J. Q. Adams, whose loss is estimated atslo,- ' 000. Insurance covers about one-half ! the loss. K mper figures his loss at j SB,OOO with scarcely any insurance. Kulp's loss will reach almost £4,000, with some insurance.

The Philadelphia Reading Rail way Company are shaping fori num ber of important improvements along the Catawissa branch the coming sum mer. Paramount among the improve ments contemplated will be the possi ble abandonment of Ryan's tunnel and the extension of Alta siding north of Loftv for a distance of 700 feet. With this plan in view a corps of surveyors are engaged at Ryan's tunnel. Tlie plan as far as can be ascertaine 1 is to make a new road bed for a distance around the side of Ryan's mountain, which will reduce the curve of the road and permit of tlie abandonment of the tunnel. The plan has been tin der consideration for some time and judging from present indications it will soon be brought to a successful issue. Tlie extension of Alta siding will shortly be commenced.

The immense volume of exhaust steam from tlie high speed engine used in connection with the dynamo from now on will be utilized to heat the water used for steam which previous ly went into the boilers practically cold during the night. It is a simple piece of mechanism and its working is very easily understood. It will heat the water used in the boilers up to a I high degree and will require much less firing and less coal to operate the plant. The attaches of the water works will now enter upon an experi ment to determine just what propor tion of the coal formerly used will be saved. According to the figures of ex perts 25 per cent, less fuel will be needed. Many people will be interested to know that formerly four tons of coal were required every twenty-four hours to operate the water and the light plant. The saving of one-fourth in fuel would mean a big thing in tlie course of a year and would cut down the cost of electric light to a still lower figure. The matter of coal for the borough plant presents a problem. In the first place the question of relative quality and price came up for careful consid eration. And then again at such times as at the present when the probability of a miners' strike looms up in the distance there is sure to be much un certainty as to future supply. The water works are wholly unlike a manu facturing plant, which may shut down with no very far reaching results. Ad mitting that under stress of circum stances the light plant might suspend, yet it would never do for the water works to stop running for a single day. A municipality of this sort must have water and must have it all the time. To keep the pumps running coal is re quired. Realizing the situation one or more councilman at the la<t meeting urged the necessity of laying in a good sup ply of coal at the water works. The action taken, however, which provid ed for the purchasing of six car loa Is j per month—three from the D. L. A | W. company and three from the P. & IR. coal company—will relieve the ■ situation only slightly. The strike may come on very soon and there may be a curtailment of shipments at al most any time. Meanwhile at the rate J we are purchasing coal the overplus at | the water works will accumulate rel i atively very slowly and in case of a ! strike with its attendant stringency we would find ourselves very poorlv prepared. A number of our citizens, among them good sound business men, have been heard to express themselves on the situation and all {seem to think that the borough should at once pur chase all the coal it can store away even going to the extremity of procuring additional storage space, if' necessary.
